That night, the people sent by Zhang Tong to Songcheng finally sent back the message.
Not surprisingly, the rainstorm in Songcheng was one of the most severely affected places in Jiazhou and even Anxia.
All the roads into Songcheng were blocked by the flood and the collapsed mountains. The people who went in first approached by rafts, then crossed the mountains with heavy things on their backs, and finally reached the county seat.
When they arrived, the whole county was in ruins. Zhang Tong immediately wrote back and asked them to find Fu Dashao or the person who knew the news of Fu Dashao as soon as possible. He quickly received it and fell into silence.
Lengsa gently sucked his airway, "here's general Zhang."
Zhang Tongzheng said, "Madam Shao, do you still want to go in?"
Lengsa said with a smile, "naturally, Songcheng says big or small. It's always good to have more people to help. It's just hard for general Zhang to deal with Jiazhou alone."
Zhang Tong waved his hand and said, "madam, I'm serious. Lao song took someone to the north the night before yesterday. We can't cope with Qujing!"
Zhang Tong and others are here. Song bo'ang and some others go north. They almost surround Songcheng from the north and South wings. This is also to prevent Qujing from suddenly attacking Songcheng after the flood recedes. At that time, they will attack from the north and south sides. Naturally, Qujing will not take any advantage of it.
It's just that the six southern provinces not only sent Fu Fengcheng, the Fu family's Young Marshal, but also sent two generals to deal with a mere Qujing this time. As a result, it's really oppressive.
Of course, it's really a bad time for this rainstorm and flood. Luck on the battlefield is sometimes the key to victory.
It can only be said that the Fu family's luck is not particularly good this time.
"That's settled." Leng SA said, "we'll start tonight."
Zhang Tongdao, "do you leave at dawn?"
Lengsa shook his head and said, "no, it's safer at night. If it goes well, it's almost dawn when we land."
Zhang Tong naturally can't convince lengsa. Finally, except Shang Feiyun, who took several people to Jiazhou City, all the people brought from Yong city went to Songcheng with lengsa.
With 200 people and equipment supplies, more than 30 rafts were used to spend water alone. No one knows what the situation is in Songcheng. They must bring enough supplies.
They took advantage of the night and went all the way to Songcheng with a raft under the leadership of the locals found by Zhang Tong. According to the guide, it will take at least seven or eight days for the water to completely recede, and maybe a few small rivers and lakes will be left.
In fact, the flood is nothing in Anxia's records, but it is actually a rare event in decades in Jiazhou.
The guide standing on the bamboo raft with lengsa always nagged. He had never seen such a big water in more than 40 years.
At night, we should also prevent something from blocking under the water. After all, no one knows what the underwater place originally has, so the speed is not fast. Lengsa stood on the raft, chatted with the guide and asked about Jiazhou.
Under the governance of Liang dujun, Jiazhou has been peaceful in recent years. Although the Jiazhou army is not strong, because it has a good relationship with the Fu family, and the adjacent Song family is not an unreasonable person, the people living in Jiazhou still have some respect for Liang dujun.
This time something like this happened. Many people are secretly scolding those who suddenly broke in. But they are just ordinary people. They can only scold in private if they dare to carry them with people with knives and guns.
It was not until dawn that they finally pulled over.
The people boarded the bank and looked at the village near the foot of the mountain not far ahead, which had become a mess. Of the original dozen houses, only one was still standing. The rest either collapsed or only one wall was still standing. There was no one quietly.
The people were still sorting out their equipment. The guide sighed when he saw lengsa staring over there. "There were more than 20 families living in that village, and the water was gone. It was said that some people survived, but they couldn't get out when they were trapped by the water, and the road to Songcheng was broken."
Jiang Yu asked, "where are those people now?"
The guide said, "I'd better go to Songcheng. There are many people there. We can always live. We have to climb over the back mountain. We have to go that way."
Jiang Yu nodded, thoughtfully pointed to the water behind them and asked, "where were those flooded?"
The guide said, "what else can it be? It used to be fields. Even if the water in the flooded land retreats, it won't be able to grow food for a moment. There was a big village where there were hundreds of families. Now there is nothing left."
After hearing this, they couldn't help being silent.
When they had packed up their equipment, they continued to move forward under the guidance of the guide.
Fu Yucheng, Zhou Yan, Jiang Zhan followed the guide in front, lengsa and Jiang Yu at the back.
While climbing the mountain, Jiang Yu whispered, "Jiazhou is a hot potato now. Is the Fu family really going to take over?"
Lengsa looked at Jiang Yu with some surprise. Jiang Yu picked her eyebrow and didn't seem to think he had said anything.
After pondering for a moment, Leng SA asked, "what do you say?"
Jiang Yu said, "although Jiazhou is no more barren than the northwest, it is not a rich place. This time, such a terrible disaster, coupled with the disasters of those people in Qujing, even if the Fu family takes Jiazhou, it will cost a lot to manage it well."
Leng SA asked, "what should I do in Jiang Shaozhi's opinion?"
Jiang Yu chuckled and said, "why don't you let Qujing go first? After driving Qujing away, those people under the Liang family will naturally decide the victory or defeat. What happens to Jiazhou at that time is naturally their own business, and the Fu family can have a reputation for upholding justice. What's more... Do you know why the three Fu Longsong families have been safe for so many years?"
Leng SA said, "please give me your advice."
Jiang Yu said, "it's because the three families are far away. The Fu family is located in the six southern provinces, the dragon family occupies the northeast, and the Song family is far away in the northwest. No one can beat anyone. But if the Fu family swallows Jiazhou, it's hard to say what the Song family will think in the future. Young lady thinks that in the eyes of governor Song, is Sun Liang a greater threat or governor Fu a greater threat?"
Lengsa didn't reply, and silently followed the team on the narrow mountain path. It hasn't rained in the past two days. The roads on the mountain have finally dried up, so that people won't slide three times in one step.
Because it was hard to climb up, Jiang Yu also closed his mouth and stopped chatting with lengsa.
The sky gradually brightened, and the warm sunrise dispelled the darkness of the night.
"Jiang Shao." Leng SA suddenly opened his mouth and was concentrating on climbing the mountain. Some panting Jiang Yu was stunned and looked at Leng SA.
Leng SA looked stable and didn't even breathe disorderly. "If you are ill, you have to treat it. Even if you spend more money, it will be a little painful. It's better than dragging it all the time and finally turning it into a stubborn and incurable disease."
"...." Xia Weian, Jiang Yu, apologized. "This... Means big Shao. I just didn't expect..." unexpectedly, Mrs. big Shao will come to Jiazhou in person. I feel that big Shao has to kneel on the washboard this time?
After thinking about it, Xia Weian decided to say a few good words for Da Shao, "well, our communicator has been soaked in water and broken. We are stepping up efforts to repair it these two days. Da Shao said that we can't let people know that he was injured, so..."
Zhou Yan and Fu Yucheng, who followed them, couldn't help glancing at Xia Wei'an. They always felt that the more deputy Xia said, the worse.
Is it better to be hurt than missing?
Xia Weian also found the problem and finally stopped in silence. I'd better wait for you to explain to Mrs. Shao.
In the simple barracks deep in the mountains, Fu Fengcheng is closing his eyes against the narrow marching bed. The handsome face looked a little pale, and there was no blood on his lips. He was wearing only a shirt, with gauze wrapped around his chest, and there were faint blood stains in the white gauze.
Xu Shaoming was worried, "Dashao, your wound..." it's been so many days. The wound is still bleeding. Fortunately, there is no sign of infection and inflammation, otherwise I really don't know how to be good.
Fu Fengcheng closed his eyes and said faintly, "it's all right. How's the situation?"
Xu Shaoming sighed and said, "Songcheng has been badly affected and the whole county has been destroyed. Our people are repairing the road leading to the outside, but the water can't get out one day."
Yes, you can take the mountain trails, but those roads are only available to people in good health, and their weapons and materials can't go that way.
What's more, there are so many people in Songcheng that they can't completely leave it alone.
"The food we rescued should be enough for everyone to eat for a few days. These two days, several generals also began to organize the people of Yongcheng to help clean the roads together. The progress is very fast. It should be repaired in five days, but the water doesn't know when it will return." Xu Shaoming continued.
The location of Songcheng county is relatively high, so the flood directly washed away, and there is not much ponding, but now it has become a huge lake outside Songcheng. Today, the whole Songcheng has become a mountain on one side and a lake on three sides.
Fu Fengcheng nodded slightly and thought for a while before saying, "turn on the radio and send a message to Zhang Tong."
"Yes." Xu Shaoming nodded and took out a notebook to record Fu Fengcheng's orders.
Fu Fengcheng said, "Songcheng county was destroyed, the first army suffered heavy losses, and Fu Fengcheng was seriously injured and in danger. He asked for support from a large number of food, weapons and doctors."
Xu Shaoming wrote a meal. He looked up at Fu Fengcheng in surprise, "big and small, clear code?"
Fu Fengcheng opened his eyes and said to him, "no, secret telegram."
Xu Shaoming didn't quite understand what Da Shao was going to do, so he nodded. Just said, "we got the news before. Jiazhou seems to be able to decipher our message. Is it possible to use another set of passwords?"
Fu Fengcheng said, "no, it's still the same."
Xu Shaoming nodded and said yes. After thinking about it, he still asked, "do you want to send a message to the governor and Mrs. Shao to report peace?"
Fu Fengcheng was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "not for the time being."
"... yes, big or small."
Xu Shaoming saluted, turned and walked outside, ready to find the messenger to send a telegram. I haven't heard from you for several days. It's OK for the supervisor to say that there's no problem with Mrs. Shao... Is there really no problem?
In his wild thoughts, adjutant Xu almost ran into Xia Weian, "Lao Xia, you... You..." when he saw the people behind Xia Weian, adjutant Xu didn't finish for a long time.
Chevy Ann said angrily, "what are you? Can you still talk?"
Xu Shaoming suddenly turned his head to look at the camp behind him, and looked back at lengsa.
Lengsa smiled kindly at him and asked softly, "is it convenient for me to have a look?"
Adjutant Xu resisted slightly, but he could only reach out and respectfully offer the notebook in his hand.
Lengsa glanced at the content above and showed a more kind smile.
Xu Shaoming only felt a chill on his back and quickly explained, "Madam Shao, it's no big deal for him. It's just... Er, he didn't deliberately don't contact his family, he did..."
Lengsa didn't wait for him to finish saying, "can I go in?"
"Of course." Xu Shaoming shut up decisively, respectfully gave way and made a gesture of your invitation.
The degree of dogleg amazed Xia adjutant, who was a colleague. It was a waste of talent that the goods didn't catch up with the palace to become a eunuch.
Lengsa said thank you and walked into the tent.
The tent was very simple, except for a single bed, a table and not even a chair.
Fu Fengcheng was resting against the head of the bed, and lengsa's eyes fell on the gauze wrapped around his chest.
The first time lengsa walked into the tent, Fu Fengcheng opened his eyes and looked back at the door. He saw that the woman standing at the door was stunned for a moment.
Lengsa calmly walked up to him, leaned over and stretched out his hand, gently poked the gauze on his chest and asked, "does it hurt?"
"Sa Sa?" Fu Fengcheng seemed to have regained his consciousness and held her finger. "Sa Sa, how did you come to Jiazhou?"
Lengsa stood up straight and stared at him from a commanding position, "what do you say?"
Fu Fengcheng was silent, but for a long time he could only put his hand around her slender waist and whispered, "I'm sorry."
No matter he has thousands of reasons, it is absolutely true that he worried her. Fu Fengcheng just thought about what would happen if his wife did this, and all the explanations could not be said.
"Sa Sa, sorry, it's me." Fu Fengcheng hugged Leng SA and whispered.
Lengsa took a deep breath and said that it was false not to be angry, but she somehow understood the reason why Fu Fengcheng did so.
"When you're well, let's do it again." Leng SA said.
